We Both retired a couple years ago and have considered growing a couple plants.
It is too bad you can’t travel with it, that’s when I find I need some relief from driving long distances and my body hurts and feels locked in upright seated position.
It’s incredibly easy to grow. Don’t use pots. It gets root bound quickly. I have an endless amount of seeds because my cousin didn’t kill the males on his batch but they are not feminized of course. We can take them to seed swaps in the area. I just remembered I still have a garbage bag of bud from a plant we sent up to him. Growing is pretty common in this part of Appalachia.
If you don’t smoke weed, it piles up quickly. I have a vape gimmick that uses plant material but it is a pretty inefficient system although safer. I relegated it to a drawer somewhere.
